Description

The Noise Training Projects wants to involve students and external experts in the improvement and testing of the new tool we are developing: Virtual Noise Audits. With this aim we want to make a call for participants within the attendees to the Workshop. Just participate performing an audit on our initial virtual scenario according to you country’s regulation. Make the audit, report your results and give us your feedback, please.

  • We ask for your collaboration in two different ways: a) perform a virtual audit, b) propose new scenarios. Apply to the awards just submitting your report or your proposal.
  • As a gesture of appreciation, the winners of each category will receive an Amazon gift card worth 150 €.
  • The subscription to this contest will be available by email until June 19th (only to attendees to the workshop).
  • − The jury will be made up of members of the entities participating in the project. The personal data provided will only be used in issues related to the execution of the competition. Any other information provided might be used for scientific or academic goals of the project. All communications will be made by e-mail.

Best report award

  • Make the virtual audit and report your results conforming your countries regulatory procedures
  • You can spend a maximum of 2 pages to: a) summarize the regulation and procedure you are applying (including country and region reference); b) report the audit results

Best new scenario award
